between Policeman and m Insane Man nj

Avery exciting fight took place on Bank
street in Bridgeport, yesterday, between
police officer Odell Meister and James
Lyle, who but few days ago returned 10
Bridgeport from tbs Athens insane asy.
lum, where no has been for several
months, aud from where ho had escaped
and made his way back to his former
home. Lyle since his return has been
promenading the streets, at times becom.
ing Very violent and abusive. BE has
been considered very dangerous person
10 be at largo, being very powerful man,
weighing about two hundred pounds and
very muscular and active. Yesterday he
appeared on Bank street. and was very
noisy. Meistcr went to him alone and in
very cool and firm manner told him he
must be quiet. rs ~
Lyle showed fight at once, telling Meis.
ter that be could not take him. Meister
seized him and started to push him along
in front Of him towards tho jail. He was
getting along with him very well until
they reached Branum's corner, when LYLE
who had gotten knife out Of his pocket
reached back with a quick, powerful
stroke and run the knife into Meister'e
leg, making an ugly flesh wound. AIeister
at this juncture pushed Lyle away and
took bis club. Lyle being released stood
bis ground and with n big knife in each
hand plunged at Meister,; striking him
again on the left arm, cutting his coat and
shirt, but not injuring him. Afeiater fol-
lowed phia mang guarding himself with his
lett arm and looking for an opportunity to
strike the insane man blow that would
enable him to capture him. Forashort time
it was a frightful acene, but Meister's cool.
ness and bravery won the victory, but not
until he had got in the third lick on
Ly!le's head did he give up and drop his
knives. Officer Stuff hearing Of the irracaa
was by this time on hand and the two OF.
ficers took Lyle to jail, and telographed' to
the officers of the asylum to come and
take him. The daring shown by Officer
Meister was highly commended by all
and quite a relief Is felt by the citizens
that Lyle is locked up. Officer Meister's

some persons seem to have quicker con-

what requires immediate obedience of

and an apparently difficult and dangerous
feat is accomplished by using Just the

There is, of course, certain knack in
using the apparatus, This is taught in a
small part of the time in which it can be
acquired by practice without the lessons.
A good many of the gymnasts' feats
which are apparently done so easily are
the result of long continued practice. AS
some one has said, an uneducated eye
can no more appreciate the difficulties of

them done with so much ease than an
inexperienced ear can estimate those of a

a private nature. The one at Weybridge
may have been unfortunate, but through
no fault of the separators, and the pro-
prietors expect to run this season. Would
it be anything strange that among the
eighty odd separators in this State, most
of them in proprietary creameries, there
should have been some Encouragement?
There has been some moving. Mr.. Clay
Gleason moved one from Richmond into
Huntington and bought three more to
take its place. Mr.. Parker moved one
out of Colchester, where he found some
good deacons watering their milk. who
found water cost too high for the sepa-
rator's business. lie bought one more
and set the two up in Westtord. DO your
readers want any more evidence that Mr..
Dorsey is wilfuly inventing stories
to answer his purpose; and what is
his purpose! \ separator creamery
is to be started in Starksboro very
soon: within the week we find every pos
sible patron of this creamery has Just
been supplied with papers and circulars
containing the same stories and Others of
a kindred nature that have appeared in
your columns from the pen of Mr.. j. W.
Dorsey, agent for the Cooley can. Has
he a purpose, think you? This game was
tried out at Pittsford, and he was met
and answered in person at a meeting of
the farmers of that town. which resulted
in a clear field for the separators, two of
which will soon commence work there.
Mr.. Dorsey says Mr.. |. ii. Norton of
Leicester has abandoned his creamery for
want of patronage. | saw Mr.. Norton
last week and he told me that he had
sold his separator and engine to Mr.. Geo.
Hammond of Middlebury: that his watts
and everything else were in the creamery
and that his patrons were anxious to have
him fit up again that he should do so if
he gave up other work at which he eX-
pected to be engaged when he sold. Mr..
ID. F. Macauley of Cream Hill farm,
ShOreham, has set aside a new Cooley
vat for the separator. Mr.. G.. c. Warren
of Waterbury did the same and can pro-
duce many other cases of this kind and
get testimony to prove 1t.
Very truly,

/ once heard Henry Ward Beecher say
that he had the greatest difficulty at the
beginning of his career to acquire the
habit of working easily and he might
have been in his grave quarter of a
century ago had he not overcome his
tendency to worry-the natural CONGO
infant of a highly nervous organization.
81 am convinced" said he, that no
youth can expect to achieve great success
unless he learns that lesson. 1t is worry
not work, that kills men. When was
young man | worried over the mistakes
l made so much that l saw it was injur-
ing my health and l resolved to stop my
lying awake nights to fret about my
blunders. conquered the weakness, and
since that struggle l have attempted to
do my best, whatever the emergency in
which l was placed and then d smisi the
matter from my mind, whether the re-
suit was satisfactory or otherwise. The
only good of studying the past is to avoid
the repetition of blunders." Mr.. Beecher

mistake, but only fool makes the same
mistake twice.-Chicago Journal.

Are Not Cloud Cleavers.

w. w. Story, the sculptor, says that
statues should be placed near the ground
That seems to be good sense, ard since
Story recommends it, there is little doubt
but it is also good art. The old style of
placing statues on the top of columns and
pinnacles, where they would be out of
sight and lose their natural proportions,
had the effect to hide art, Human be-
ings are land animals, and it is unnatural
to thrust their statues into the sky
